Couples Get Together: A Night to Connect and Grow Friendships

Couples Get Together Event Series

Life gets busy, and it's easy to cocoon up with your partner. But couples need friends too! Let's help you connect with other couples and grow your social circle.

Looking to meet other couples and build meaningful friendships? Couples Get Together is a new event series from Filled Cups designed to help couples connect, laugh, and form genuine bonds — without the awkward small talk.

Our gatherings offer a relaxed atmosphere with light structure to make meeting new people easy and natural. Think of it as a social mixer with heart — part fun night out, part friendship accelerator.

At each event, you and your partner will:

• Meet other couples who also value connection and community

• Enjoy guided conversation prompts and activities designed to spark authentic interaction

• Share food and drinks (if you wish) in a casual, welcoming setting

The first Couples Get Together will be held on:

• 🗓 Friday, October 24

• 🕡 6:30 – 8:30 PM

• 📍 Alley 51, Pineville — an Asian food hall with a variety of eats and drinks in a vibrant, casual atmosphere

• Where to meet: We'll gather by the Itaewon bar area towards the back by the windows.

• All ages welcome!

• We ask that each couple fill out this 3 question form to indicate their friendship preferences

After the success of our friend-matching events that brought countless people together, we’re expanding this idea for couples — because friendship is better shared.

Come as you are. Leave with new friends and shared memories.
